Concepts C.1 and C.2 were developed in response to public, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, and City Commission feedback.

Concept D addressed some concerns brought forth by public and internal review.

The Final Concept has been developed to address concerns from multiple meetings with the community and advisory boards. City staff will present the Final Concept to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on July 2nd, 2018 at 4:30 PM in the City Commission Room at City Hall.

In December 2018, the City Commission accepted the Final City Park Master Plan Document located here. The image below shows the City Park Master Plan as accepted by the City Commission.

Community Engagement Activity & Park Walk

Events, community workshops and public activities like the Farmer's Market.

Meetings included the East Park, City Park West and South Manhattan neighborhood associations.

An initial survey, which was completed by more than 550 citizens, helped
guide the development of two concepts. A second survey to provide
feedback on Concepts A and B resulted in over 1,400 responses.
